- Exactly which Metallica song "At Doom's Gate" is based on has been disputed. Usually suggested are "Master of Puppets" and "No Remorse". It is also possible that the song is based on a sequence in "The Family Ghost" by King Diamond (the part can be heard approximately 2:15 into the song). Slayer's Behind the Crooked Cross at 1:08 is also possible. The riff, almost verbatim, is also featured in D.R.I.'s Hooked from their 1987 LP Crossover.
- The Doom IWAD file includes two title screen MIDI lumps, d_intro and d_introa. The latter is used when using OPL MIDI playback (ie. on an Adlib or Soundblaster card).
